Does adding the NES cartridge connector kill onboard games?

Post by figmentfilm »

Using the SJ3, I know that it is possible to keep the onboard games by using a dpst switch...
My findings...

[[http://www.benheck.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=15676]]

However, the cart conversion on the site differs from these...
Does adding the 72 pin cart connector kill the onboard games? Or does it simply 'auto-detect' a game cart when it's in, defaulting to the on board games when it's not.

Thanks!

IIRC, it will disable the games while a cart is plugged in, not when you wire the 72 pin cart connector.

In G-force's Nes Boy (I think thats what its called) he disabled the games by connecting pin 1 and 31. I'm not sure of the exact pin numbers but its somewhere around there.
